I just made a loaf from the Pamelas bread mix. It is the best I have had yet. The bread was moist like real bread and it wasn't crumbly or grainy. For the first time, my sandwich held together.

Did you use the Amazing Bread Mix? I've tried the mix a couple of times and we really like it as well. My dd is egg free and they have directions on the bag for the egg free version. I used Ener-G Egg Replacer in my bread. I found that I had to let is rise atleast double the amount of time that the bag suggested. Since I'm not using egg, I've found that using a muffin tin, half dome pan or mini loaf pan works great. I made some rolls with it last week and we used them as hamburger buns. YUM! :)

When you made the hamburger buns, did you change the recipe any? Did you use a bun pan or just shaped them by hand? I would like to try making hamburger buns, they sound great.

Just thought I'd jump in here and add a little something; I've never found that shaping buns by hand works well as our doughs are too soft and sticky and want to spread: Try using any of these methods:

1-English Muffin Rings available at most kitchen stores. You just place the rings on a sheet and spray; and then spoon the dough into the rings.

2-You can make your own rings out of heavy duty aluminum foil and taping together.

3-Use miniature foil pie tins; and reshape them over the bottom of a quart size jar of mayo (or similar) until they become bun shape. You may want to wear gloves so as not to scrape your hands. (this is my favorite and you can put these through dishwasher and reuse)

4-You can also purchase a bun pan at specialty stores, but they are usually quite expensive.

Hope this helps.

Kay, these are great ideas.

When you made the hamburger buns, did you change the recipe any?

I did the recipe just as it is on the bag. My aunt likes to do cinnamon and raisin bread using the dough.

I have a half dome silicon pan that works well for my buns. I make sure not to pack the dough down in them so their nice and airy. I take water on a knife and smooth the top of the dough. The buns don't look eactly like hamburger buns...more like rolls. I usually invert them and the bottom becomes the top. I slice them and put the burgers, roast beef/ meat in the center. I've also used silicon muffin pan for rolls. They taste the same but look more like muffins. I've seem the hamburger pans at the kitchen outlets and thought about springing for one but haven't yet. I the time, I didn't had a good recipe. I've also used Applegate Organic Beef Hotdogs and have thought about trying hotdog buns.

When you make the buns? How long do you bake them? At what temperature?

I bake my rolls at 325 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top. But I'm using a convection oven. If I were baking in a regular oven I would bake them at 350 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes. I have noticed they continue to bake & set up some as they cool. I thought they might be a little gooey but as they cooled they were perfect. Sometimes I'll cover them with foil if they look like they're getting too brown on top.

We took a day trip yesterday and I made the buns and topped them with roast beef, they were so good! My dd at the rest of the buns this morning with Bionature Blackberry Fruit Spread. Yum! :D

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Villi damage is caused by celiac disease, which does not happen in NCGS, although some people with NCGS do have elevated antibody levels. Some people with NCGS who have the genes for celiac disease may end up developing celiac disease, so in some people NCGS may be a precursor to celiac disease, but more research needs to be done on NCGS. Both low iron and vitamin D are common symptoms of celiac disease. Also, regarding beer:

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s true that some vaccines contain small amounts of preservatives, stabilizers, or adjuvants to ensure their safety and effectiveness. For example: Thimerosal: A preservative that contains ethylmercury (not to be confused with methylmercury, which is toxic). Most routine vaccines no longer contain thimerosal, except for some flu vaccines in multi-dose vials. Aluminum: Used in very small amounts as an adjuvant to boost the immune response. The amount is far below levels considered harmful, but if you suspect an aluminum allergy, it’s worth discussing with your doctor. Sugar alcohols: These are sometimes used as stabilizers, but they are generally well-tolerated. If you have a known intolerance, you can ask about specific ingredients in each vaccine. Since you mentioned an intolerance to metals and jewelry, it’s a good idea to follow up with allergy testing, as you planned. This can help identify specific metals (e.g., nickel, aluminum) to avoid. Your doctor can then guide you on whether any vaccine ingredients might be a concern. Since the Mayo Clinic has already identified potential allergies, it might be helpful to consult an allergist or immunologist. They can review your medical history, perform tests, and provide personalized advice on vaccines and their ingredients. While it’s important to address your intolerances, it’s also worth considering the risks of not being vaccinated. Many vaccine-preventable diseases can have serious consequences, especially for those with underlying health conditions.

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Manaan2, I was on Miralax for several months after I crushed three vertebrae and fractured my hip.  The compression fractures of my vertebrae affected the Vagus nerve that stimulates digestion and intestinal movement, peristalsis. Miralax just didn't relieve the constipation I was experiencing at all.  Nothing budged.  I tried Milk of Magnesia (magnesium oxide) which pulls water into the digestive tract, and found that rather harsh and dehydrating.   Bad idea. I was already taking thiamine in various forms, Benfotiamine, TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl  disulfude), Lipothiamine and Allithiamine.  Click on my name, then Activities in the pull down menu to get to my blog to learn more about my journey with thiamine.   Since we need more thiamine when we are physically ill and emotionally stressed, I decided to focus on TTFD,  Benfotiamine, and magnesium l-threonate.  Within a week of increasing my doses a bit, my constipation was gone.  It took several more months to heal the compressed nerve damage.  For pain, I take a combination of TTFD, Pyridoxine B 6, and  Cobalamine B12 which together have an analgesic effect.  I can't function with pharmaceutical pain killers, besides they cause constipation.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Yes, I did just stop the Miralax, but I wasn't on it as long as your daughter.  Yes, there's a difference between adults and children.  Yes, my circumstances were different than your daughter's, but thiamine deficiency does affect the nerves and the brain.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function (which activates the Vagus nerve and controls digestion).   I recommend you visit Dr. Chandler Marrs' website, hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Marrs worked with Dr. Derrick Longsdale, a pioneer in thiamine research, specifically with children and autism spectrum disorders.  She has been very helpful to me when I reached out to her.  She would be better able to guide you about your daughter's care. https://hormonesmatter.com/sibo-ibs-constipation-thiamine-deficiency/#google_vignette Do stay in touch, please.  You can start another thread or personal message me any time.  My heart goes out to you, your husband, and especially your daughter.   Namaste

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Opinions on my test results/symptoms

      By BIg Nodge · Posted

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.
